Because when tier 12 came out, tier 11 VP gear became JP gear.
Because when tier 13 came out tier 12 VP gear became JP gear.

Tier 13 VP gear is now purchasable with JP now that we are in tier 14, and a new expansion.

Following this trend, one would asssume that when tier 15 came out, tier 14 VP gear became JP gear.

However with 5.2 and tier 15, this is not the case.
Tier 14 VP gear is still VP gear even though it is now 1 tier behind the current tier, which is typically what gear JP buys, whereas VP buys the current tier's VP gear, not the previous one's.

My name is Cernunnos, I will love you like no other, I have died a thousand deaths, each time I died I thought of you.

It does seem strange that they would make obsolete gear cost viable currency. Unless there are a lot of gaps in the 5.2 valor gear options, which I guess there could be. There wasn't that much 5.1 valor gear .

So are you also gonna keep your VP then when 5.2 hits. or is VP converted to JP so you gotta start from scratch with VP again. else somebody could keep 3k VP reserved and buy himself some discount VP items if you know what i mean.
